Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This book shows kids the activities they can do on the Internet and then lets kids practice actually doing them. Like most Internet books for kids, The Internet for Your Kids begins with an overview of the Net, explaining what's available online and what software tools you'll need to take advantage of the resources. Like other such books, it also provides an extensive listing of great online sites suitable for children.
However, what makes this work different is that the authors' approach goes beyond just visiting individual sites. For example, in the section "Making Global Connections," they talk about online sites where kids can find Internet pen pals in foreign countries and where kids can learn about the history of their own and other countries. The authors also put together enjoyable hands-on projects for kids that can be done individually, in groups, or as parent/child activities. Projects focus on a specific subject, such as the social activism project, which shows kids how to pick a topic they care about, find up-to-date information on it, talk to other kids affected by the issue, and write a report or pamphlet on the topic for other kids to read.
Projects have all been kid-tested and revised based on input. The authors describe each project and tell what Internet features will be used, such as the World Wide Web, newsgroups, or mailing lists. The Internet for Your Kids lists excellent sites and resources and, in its appendix, provides an index of outstanding kid-appropriate sites sorted by subject matter.

This is an awesome book! I learned so much I can teach both of my parents. Because of this, I have made my own Web page with this book as my only guide. All the activities here rock!
